Dylan McDonald and his band, the Avians, opened for his father, Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald, at the Bank of America Pavilion Theater in Boston in September. Dylan appeared on stage wearing a bright yellow HYDE t-shirt in front of thousands of fans! His band performed an opening set while the big screens flashed our name (and his face) over and over again.

Why doeth though thou lust for the Laurie Hurd 1983 photo?
What is the deal with Hyde.
Is it really as it appears?
CEDU meets east coast prep school?
I can't imagine such a place.
Why have I never heard of it? Ever.

:rofl: LOLs. Ya got the wrong hamster as far as Laurie Hurd is concerned. NOT my type... <cough cough> ...at all. Besides, the blunt dogmatism would be enough of a buzzkill right off the bat. Somebody else on the wheel saw fit to make that comment, who must have his own reasons and criteria, such as they are...
As to weird-ass so-called prep school with CEDU sprinkles on top... keep in mind that Hyde predates CEDU, though not by much. They would have both been born out of the same cultural mash, same exposure to "new ideas" given airplay by the media, same generational delving into the efficacies of "Groups Dynamics" and the goodies of the Human Potential movement that became popular obsessions in the aftermath of the Second World War... albeit on opposite coasts.
Interesting that Mel Wasserman also tried to ply his take on the trade in a more conventional school setting, as did Joe Gauld (New Hampton, Berwick Academy). Don't know offhand about Mel, but the more mainstream route didn't work so well for Joe...

Or convert to Catholicism, take what you want, confess and be forgiven. Alternately "punch him in the throat" answers most of life's most difficult problems.

Ahh. Thanks for that bump.
I had planned to post the Michael Scinto story here, but apparently never got around to it. Scinto participated in the New Warrior Training Adventure put on by the Mankind Project, and then committed suicide not too long after. The Houston Press did a story on this, along with a cover story / blog summarizing some of the pertinent details. Here's that cover story:

Cover Story: The ManKind Project
By Chris Vogel, Wednesday, Oct. 3 2007 @ 2:01PM
I was first introduced to a men's group called The ManKind Project while reading through a lawsuit filed against the organization in Harris County civil court. It described a weekend retreat north of Houston where men dress in black, wear face paint, and engage in rituals and exercises called "Cock Talk," and "Little Boy's Deepest Needs."
The ManKind Project is an international nonprofit organization that claims to offer men training: how to be accountable for yourself, how to express yourself, how to learn that being a man in today's world is okay. Men pay hundreds of dollars to attend a weekend initiation retreat, during which they engage in rituals – many in the nude – and delve into men's most intimate and personal issues.
Many men who attend the weekend swear the program changed their lives for the better. But not all. The Scinto family, who filed the lawsuit, claim their son attended the retreat in 2005, came home, and two weeks later took his own life because he could not handle the psychological stresses placed upon him during the weekend.
The family began investigating and discovered an underworld of critics who feel this self-help program – where men must sign confidentiality contracts and liability waivers to attend – has the potential to do harm. Critics, including the Scinto family, claim the organization appears to practice psychology without a state license, targets vulnerable members of 12-step recovery groups, and has a poor vetting system with which to determine who is and who is not capable of dealing with the program.
With all its confidentiality agreements, The ManKind Project is shrouded in mystery and secrecy. In this week's feature, "Weekend Warriors," we chronicle the Scinto family's attempts to pull back the veil and show a side of The ManKind Project that's not seen in the organization's promotional films, two of which you can view below. -- Chris Vogel
